Seems like LSU has avoided a travesty with the portal and players leaving

Don’t get me wrong, we lose some talented guys, but we’re going to be in great shape moving forward. Nothing that can’t be overcome.

Probably but why make that declaration 5 days into the 45 day portal window?

I think its a good indicator of a healthy culture, the players want to be here.

Because "by rule" you can not have a conversation about transferring to another school if you are not. I'm sure that's adhered to religiously by all parties.

The main reason is if you are good enough to be picked up, you do not want the team you may fit best with to fill that spot with another transfer player.

To get to new school where you want to go before they take someone else and enroll for Spring classes

we haven't lost anyone that would have played and are doing very well compared to our rivals.

Everyone that transferred we have someone more talented behind them

The portal has ruined college football.

Everyone is going to have backups in the portal, what you want to avoid is losing potential starters for next season. We have not lost any.

A little early for a victory lap, pal.

No starters or even 2-deep guys that aren’t replaceable

It’s been ok so far but there is a lot of time for back channeling to take place. Also, there are some guys weighing their options for draft. KB was some great news though.

are the players not going to be playing college football anymore? I don't get how it's ruined.

The rich will just get richer which is why LSU’s best scenario is to stay competitive for a national championship. 5 years from now it will be similar to the NBA with popular free agents chasing a ring

Sadly there is a spring portal time too. But I do agree with your post

2 are going pro (expect 2-3 more with Roy and BJ) and the rest were back ups who were not seeing a ton of time.
